Kannika "Kay" Kim · The Agency
About
The market needs architects, not more agents.
I'm Kannika Kim, a Luxury Real Estate Advisor at The Agency Beverly Hills. I advise on acquisitions, dispositions, and investment strategies across Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Brentwood, and the Westside, with a growing cross-border practice bridging the US and Cambodia.
Before real estate, I spent eleven years at Apple as a Technical Consultant and Business Analyst, where I learned that the best client experiences are built on systems, not salesmanship. That principle drives everything I do now: AI-powered market intelligence, data-driven pricing strategy, and a consultative approach that treats every transaction as a business decision rather than an emotional one.
What Sets My Practice Apart
AI-Integrated Workflow
An AI-powered process that runs from lead generation through close, using tools most agents won't touch for another five years.
NAR Green Designation
I specialize in sustainable luxury: resource-efficient, high-performance homes built for the future, not just for today.
Opportunity Zone Strategy
Currently building a Qualified Opportunity Fund targeting mixed-use workforce housing, clean energy, and rural operating businesses under the OBBBA's OZ 2.0 framework.
Cross-Border Fluency
Born in Cambodia and raised across Southeast Asia, I advise international buyers navigating LA's luxury market, as well as US investors exploring emerging Cambodian corridors.
Beyond the Practice
I'm the Founder of KOA (Khmer Overseas Association), building institutional infrastructure for the Cambodian diaspora.
My mantra is simple: where there is Kay, there is always a way.
If you're a UHNW buyer, family office, or institutional investor looking at the LA luxury market or OZ-eligible deals, let's talk.

Specialty Practice · Probate, Trust & Conservatorship
When the estate has to move, move it right.
Probate, trust, and conservatorship sales do not follow the normal market calendar. They follow court dates, beneficiary timelines, and a stack of documents most agents never learn to read. I advise executors, trustees, administrators, conservators, and families through those sales across Beverly Hills, Brentwood, Santa Monica, and the wider Westside.
My background is systems, not salesmanship, and that matters here. Every file gets a written plan, a documented price opinion that holds up in front of a court, and one point of contact from petition through close of escrow.
Who I work with
- Estate attorneys
- Accountants and CPAs
- Trustees
- Administrators
- Conservators
- Family offices
- Out-of-state heirs
Stone Canyon Drive
Bel Air · Estate sale
I am not an attorney and nothing here is legal advice. I work alongside your estate attorney and inside the court's process.
01
Probate Sales
Court-confirmed listings from petition to hearing. Preparation, pricing, and a qualified buyer pool, with the overbid at the confirmation handled so the estate is not left on the table.
02
Trust & Estate Administration
Trustees who can sell without a court process still need clean documentation, an accurate valuation, and beneficiaries kept informed. That side of the file runs quietly and on schedule.
03
Conservatorship
When a fiduciary is deciding for someone else, the standard goes up. Extra care with the paperwork, extra patience with the timeline, and a sale built to survive review.
How a probate or trust sale runs
- 1
Read the file
Petition, letters, appraisal, tenancy, liens. Before anything is listed, I confirm what the court and the beneficiaries actually require.
- 2
Prepare and price
A documented price opinion, a light repair budget, and a clean presentation of the property for the court and for buyers.
- 3
Market and qualify
The property goes to a vetted buyer pool, with offers structured for confirmation, not only for escrow.
- 4
Confirm and close
Overbid strategy at the hearing, then coordination through close of escrow and the final accounting.
The approach
An advisor and a friend, not just an agent.
02
Knowledgeable
I know every part of the process and head off problems before they reach you. The work feels calm because the work is calm.
03
Patient
Especially with first-time buyers. We move at your pace, answer every question, and only sign when it's truly right.
The three qualities above come directly from client Hamada Zah's review, and they're the working principles I bring to every transaction, from a first-time condo to a multi-property portfolio.

In their words
The nicest things clients have said.
★★★★★
"Kay is a fantastic person, she helped me to find the right place to live in LA with my wife. Our situation was a little bit complex but Kay was very professional, polite, dedicated and efficient with all the process. Thank you Kay!"
★★★★★
"When looking for a home, especially in this turbulent market, there is so much to consider. I was looking for an investment property and needed to be smart about location, rentability, and of course financing. I was so happy and frankly lucky to have met Kay who was my true savior in the process. She possesses three core qualities that make her a standout: 1) Resourcefulness — she has created a network that helped me with everything I needed in the journey (financing, design, and property management), 2) Knowledgeable — she knew each and every part of the process and even preempted any issues I would have otherwise faced, 3) Patience — an incredible virtue, especially when dealing with first time home buyers. I would HIGHLY recommend Kay as someone who acts not just as your agent, but as your advisor and friend."

On the ground
I know these streets.
Which block gets afternoon light. Which HOA actually responds. Which contractor won't ghost you. Local knowledge isn't a buzzword, it's the difference between a great deal and an expensive lesson.
